I really want to shoplift?

A couple of months ago, I was at an Isetan department store, looking at toys with my little sister. Then I saw this Star Wars model kit, which cost around 40 ringgit. Then I felt this weird urge to steal it, like I really needed it. I don't understand why. I'm not a Star Wars fan at all, and I don't play with toys. But the urge was really strong, and before I even knew it, the packaging was opened and I was just staring at the contents wondering whether or not I should go ahead and nab it. Then I suddenly noticed my sister looking at me weirdly, and I laughed it off and put the toy back onto the shelf.

I have not stolen anything since, but I've always felt those strange urges to steal things I don't even need. Ever since last month, I've been constantly trying to think up plans to cheat security, and I don't even notice myself thinking that way until now. I've been eyeing this keychain at Kinokuniya's lately, and I just really want it. I'm not sure how to get past those CCTVs, but I've been reading up on mall surveillance for a week. I think I'm ready. But I'm still a little scared.
Is there something wrong with me? I've read up on wikipedia on kleptomania, and I really feel that way too. I just need to make sure. Do any of you guys feel that way too? please tell me.

    Dude, I'm totally like you. But I never stole and I don't steal. Who knows how long you'll stay in juvenile?

    Now you can see why our society has so many criminals. They get a kick out taking something that belongs to others. Cheating, stealing, robbing, raping, killing, etc. etc. is all the same to the criminal mind. Its the thrill, or the semi-thrill. When you get caught it will be the beginning of the end of a descent life for you, and then there is no going back. You need to talk to a professional that can help you before you make this huge mistake in your life.

    Its totally fine to think about shoplifting nearly everyone has that thought but in your case its way past the normal level I mean you are reading about getting past through security. Just try and calm down and try to do something else to shift your focus
